  • Vinyl covered model 2???

    I'm in the process of trading some gear I rarely use for a Model 2. I've wanted one for awhile and to get one without any cash out of pocket was a little too good to pass up. The only catch is the seller states the body is finished with a gray vinyl, which he says is stock. From the pics it looked like it might be that "granite" finish that was offered for awhile, but he believes it is in fact vinyl. Anybody ever hear of this? My plan to to strip and refinish it if it is vinyl covered. Seems bizarre.........

    Nope.
    Never heard of it.
    It should come right off though.
    If it doesn't, well... we have other remedy's for that...

      Yeah, I already explained to that guy that it is a fleckstone finish. Looks like it was done with paint cans, too.

          It's the one on HC - I had asked about it shortly after he posted it and half-heartedly listed some stuff I had available. I didn't hear from him for awhile and then he sent me a note with a reasonable trade offer. Pretty low risk, high reward, I think.

          I was wondering if the cover was a Krylon stone finish too. That may be a little harder to get off, but like nhspike said, there are remedy's for that too.

            Yep, it was sprayed on. I was trying to work out a deal with him, too. I haven't heard back from him.

              IS it the one with the EMG on it? I think it's on ultimate guitar too as a guy has one like it he's been trying to get rid of forever, but never mentioned vinyl.

                Yup - it has an EMG, though I don't go to UG much, so I can't say it's the same one. As of tonight, we have a deal struck and he said he shipped it this afternoon. I hope so, my stuff leaves USPS in the morning. Damn thing has me very curious. No matter, it will be a great project if nothing else. I see the future..... and I see............ lots of dust.
